Upaya and Upādāna – Two Stages of Attachment

Based on ANY sensory input and the uppatti bhavaṅga, a mind will start at a particular DEFILED STATE (pancupadanakkhandha) unless one is an Arahant. Even if an average human may not strongly attach to a sense input, “distorted saññā” is automatically generated; the reason is not realizing the anicca nature, but we will discuss that later.
Wouldn’t ‘defiled sanna’ be more appropriate in this context? Even if the anicca nature is realized, distorted sanna will still occur.
